Treasury Department by the local War Fi- nince Committee, contains informa- tion which will clarify some erron- cous impressions which seem to be 1revalent with reference to War Bond redemptions. United States Savings Bonds (De- ‘:nse and War) Series E, F. and G were first issued on May 1, 1941. Cince that date through December 31, 1943, cumulative sales total over Redemptions (cost rlus accrued interest) through De- cember 31, 1212, total $1,763,000,000 or 6.93 per cont of cumulative sales. ‘Therefore, 9297 per cent of the funds invested in Series E, F. and G bonds since they were first of- fered for sale is s invested in | these bonds, United States Savings Bonds (De~ fense and War) Series E alone since May 1, 1941 aggregate $17,500,000,000, Redemptions (cost plus accrued in- terest) through December 31, 1943, | total $1,600,000,000 or 9.16 per cent of cumulative sales. As of December 31, 1943, 90.84 per cent of the $17,500,000,000 of Series E bonds placed remain in the hands of the public. e — KETCHIKAN OES ELECTS Mrs. Sylvia Lindstrom has been lelecbed Worthy Matron of the East- j ern Star Lodge at Ketchikan.

Only one such item| | has deliberately been omitted; and, |that is because it hus needed con- \ | siderable development before rating| |mention. We refer to the album of USO snapshots. Though still not nearly as complete as it should | be, now at last it definitely merits/ inspection by all you Servicemen. | And by means of your contributions we hope you will enable us shortly| to make it truly worthy of the Ju- } neau USO. | Fortunately the book starts with! a series of four shots of the interior| of the clubhouse in its pre- USO‘ days of October, 1942. (If you are disinclined to believe in miracles, or if you are a sceptic as to the creative power of sheer optimism when facing the impossible, let scmeone among the oldest of the local inhabitants inform you about the age of this structure, then' glance over page 1 ¢f the album,! and finally iook around you at the Club on a mid-January day of 1944! | A number of the Servicemen and‘ the townspeople who have played! major parts in the Club’s life are, pictured in the book; former Di-| rector Sid Cowgill, of course, Mrs.| Frank Boyle, Miss Marie Struve and A. B: Cain are there; and Sol- diers Ervin Hagerup, Johnny Moore! and Steve Bzdek, and several others who helped with the remodeling of the old building but whose names, are not recorded for us, and whq\ no longer are stationed in Juneau.| Some good “action shots” are to be| found: the popular Sgt. Hank' Majcher, dressed only in shorts, is there pressing his pants; and there's | a session of lively square dancing; and the USO float, from various! angles, in ‘the Independence Day parade; and some excellent prints of the Juneau-Ketchikan boxing | matches” held at the ball pflrk‘ Youll find that some. of the egilier group pictures already have a’ vexy' nostalgic effect: Look at that one of “Buddy’s and. Billie’ hill-billy” | dance band of last spring—remem-{ ber how many evenings of fun they furnished us? Of course, too,| there are those snaps that may be classified as the sort that are “m- evitable” in every collection: 'l'he one of the totally oblivious soldier caught in blissful slumber in the lobby, and that one taken across the street from the Club with the subject directly under the large | sign “No parking in front of this, door.” | Our album contains several beau- | tiful views of glaciers and moun- ! tains, but we need more of them.: And there are at least a couple of inexcusable omissions: it was no less than grossly negligent for us to fail to get pictures of two of| | the most memorable of all local USO events—the unique and ex- ceedingly successful street dance of last July, and that heart-warming | civildrens’ party on Christmas af- ternoon. We will not forget either |of these affairs; but certainly we cught not to have failed to get camera shots of both of them. We are beginning to acquire a fair number of snaps of the GSO | Girls, though the set is nowhere 'near complete. In another respect, . there is a serious need: Al- most no action shots are to be found depicting any part of the Club's varied weekly program. We shall try to remedy this defect at once. Thus we plan to get flash- light pictures of the next session of Forum Club, one of the early Friday night games parties, and one of the Thursday night dances as well as a picture of the next Formal at the Scottish Rite Temple. The most interesting and com- plete and best arranged collection of snapshots we've recently seen is that owned by Lois Allen, newest GSO girl Lois printed and de- veloped most of them herself; and k)w has a collection to be very proud jof. We have asked her to assist Mary McCormack to bring our book up to date just as soon as possible. With the help of all you Service- men who have pictures to contrib- we can count on Mary and Lois shortly completing the development of our collection into a really good one. the ute, ALL-STARS V USO STAFF It seems pretty well establ lhd' there is such a thing as retri- butive justice in this world. The Mounties do, in fact as well as in fiction and in the movies, finally get their man; and the chickens, famed in the old adage, are a sure thing to come home to roost. That being so, it seems very likely that next Tuesday night will see a large crowd of former vyictims gathered tcgether at the USO, or listening in {over the air, for the sole purpose of cnjoying the meting out of heavy- handed justice to their erstwhile lolmemms hed Announcement We hiave obtained ihe eguipment necessary lo PUBLIC LARRIER | We Will Make Two Complete Route Deliveries All orders for fuel express and merchandise should be tele- phoned or word left at BERT'S CASH GROCERY by 10:15 A.
